Abstract

This paper proposes an efficient clutter cancellation algorithm based on suppressed clutter map for frequency-modulated continuous wave radar systems. In conventional clutter cancellation algorithms based on clutter maps, range-Doppler maps are employed. However, if the radar cross section (RCS) of the targets is significantly lower than the RCS of the clutter, a problem may occur in that the targets may also be removed in the clutter-removal process. To solve this problem, the proposed algorithm creates a range-Doppler map to which the moving target indicator (MTI) algorithm is applied instead of the general range-Doppler map that does not include the MTI algorithm. The range-Doppler map, used after applying the clutter suppression filter, significantly reduces the clutter removal effect on targets in which RCS is relatively weak by suppressing the effect of relatively dominant clutter signals. The experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm detects weak targets that remain undetected by the existing map-based clutter-removal algorithm.

FMCW雷达系统中基于抑制杂波映射的高效杂波消除算法

针对调频连续波雷达系统，提出了一种基于抑制杂波映射的有效杂波消除算法。在传统的基于杂波图的杂波消除算法中，使用了距离多普勒图。然而，如果目标的雷达截面积（RCS）显著低于杂波的RCS，则可能会出现在杂波去除过程中也可能去除目标的问题。为了解决这个问题，所提出的算法创建应用了移动目标指示符（MTI）算法的距离多普勒图，而不是不包括MTI算法的一般距离多普勒图。在应用杂波抑制滤波器后使用的距离多普勒图，通过抑制相对主导的杂波信号的影响，显著降低了对RCS相对较弱的目标的杂波去除效果。实验结果表明，该算法能够检测出现有基于地图的杂波去除算法未检测到的弱目标。
